< Genesis 38 >
1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a man of Adullam whose name was Hirah.
Ní àkókò náà, Juda lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ láti lọ dúró lọ́dọ̀ ọkùnrin ará Adullamu kan tí ń jẹ́ Hira.
2 And Judah saw there the daughter of a Canaanitish man whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in to her.
Juda sì pàdé ọmọbìnrin Kenaani kan níbẹ̀ ẹni ti orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Ṣua. Ó sì fi ṣe aya, ó sì bá a lòpọ̀;
3 And she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Er.
ó sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, tí ó sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Eri.
4 And she again conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.
Ó sì tún lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin, ó sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Onani.
5 And again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah; and he was at Chezib when she bore him.
Ó sì tún bí ọmọkùnrin mìíràn, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Ṣela. Ní Kesibu ni ó wà nígbà tí ó bí i.
6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Juda sì fẹ́ aya fún Eri, àkọ́bí rẹ̀, orúkọ aya náà ni Tamari.
7 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah slew him.
Ṣùgbọ́n Eri àkọ́bí Juda ṣe ènìyàn búburú níwájú Olúwa, Ọlọ́run sì pa á.
8 Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and fulfil to her the brother-in-law's duty, and raise up seed to thy brother.
Nígbà náà ni Juda wí fún Onani, “Bá aya arákùnrin rẹ lòpọ̀, kí o ṣe ojúṣe rẹ fun un gẹ́gẹ́ bí àbúrò ọkọ, kí ó ba à le bí ọmọ fún un ní orúkọ arákùnrin rẹ.”
9 But when Onan knew that the seed should not be his own, it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] on the ground, in order to give no seed to his brother.
Ṣùgbọ́n Onani mọ̀ pé àwọn ọmọ náà kì yóò jẹ́ ti òun, nítorí náà ni gbogbo ìgbà tí ó bá wọlé tọ aya arákùnrin rẹ̀ lọ, ilẹ̀ ni ó ń da nǹkan ọkùnrin rẹ̀ sí, kí ó má bá a bímọ fún arákùnrin rẹ̀.
10 And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and he slew him also.
Ohun tí ó ń ṣe yìí burú lójú Olúwa, ó sì pa òun náà pẹ̀lú.
11 And Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow in thy father's house, until Shelah my son is grown; for he said, Lest he die also, as his brethren. And Tamar went and remained in her father's house.
Nígbà náà ni Juda wí fún Tamari, ìyàwó ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Lọ máa gbé bí opó ní ilé baba rẹ, títí tí Ṣela yóò fi dàgbà ó lérò pé òun náà lè kú bí àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ tókù.” Nígbà náà ni Tamari ń lọ gbé ilé baba rẹ̀.
12 And as the days were multiplied, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah was comforted, and he went up to his sheep-shearers, to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà pípẹ́, ìyàwó Juda, ọmọbìnrin Ṣua sì kú, nígbà tí ọjọ́ ọ̀fọ̀ Juda sì pé, ó gòkè lọ sí Timna, sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn tí ń bá a rẹ́run àgùntàn rẹ̀, Hira ará Adullamu tí í ṣe ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ sì bá a lọ.
13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.
Nígbà tí ẹnìkan sọ fún Tamari pé, “Baba ọkọ ọ̀ rẹ̀ wà ní ọ̀nà àjò rẹ̀ sí Timna láti rẹ́run àgùntàn rẹ̀.”
14 And she put the garments of her widowhood off from her, and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the entry of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as wife.
Ó bọ́ aṣọ opó rẹ̀, ó sì fi ìbòjú bo ojú ara rẹ̀ kí wọn má ba à mọ̀ ọ́n. Ó sì jókòó sí ẹnu-bodè Enaimu, èyí tí ó wà ní ọ̀nà Timna. Nítorí ó rí i wí pé, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Ṣela ti dàgbà, síbẹ̀, a kò fi òun fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí aya.
15 And Judah saw her, and took her for a harlot; because she had covered her face.
Nígbà tí Juda rí i, ó rò pé panṣágà ni, nítorí ó ti bo ojú rẹ̀.
16 And he turned aside to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me go in to thee; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in to me?
Láìmọ̀ pé, aya ọmọ òun ní í ṣe, ó yà tọ̀ ọ́ ní ẹ̀bá ọ̀nà, ó wí pé, “Wá kí èmi kí ó lè wọlé tọ̀ ọ́.” Òun sì wí pé, “Kín ni ìwọ yóò fi fún mi kí ìwọ kó lè wọlé tọ̀ mí.”
17 And he said, I will send [thee] a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, until thou send it?
Ó sì wí pé, “Èmi yóò fi ọmọ ewúrẹ́ kan ránṣẹ́ sí ọ láti inú agbo ẹran.” Obìnrin náà sì dáhùn pé, “Ṣé ìwọ yóò fún mi ní ohun kan gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀rí títí tí ìwọ yóò fi fi ránṣẹ́?”
18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy lace, and thy staff which is in thy hand. And he gave [it] her, and went in to her; and she conceived by him.
Juda sì bi í pé, “Ẹ̀rí wo ni kí n fún ọ?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Èdìdì ìdámọ̀ okùn àti ọ̀pá ìtìlẹ̀ rẹ ti ń bẹ ní ọwọ́ rẹ.” Ó sì kó wọn fún un, ó sì sùn tì í, obìnrin náà sì lóyún nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀.
19 And she arose and went away; and she laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó lọ, ó bọ́ ìbòjú ojú rẹ̀, ó sì tún wọ aṣọ opó rẹ̀ padà.
20 And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand; but he found her not.
Juda sì rán ọmọ ewúrẹ́ náà láti ọwọ́ ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀, ará Adullamu náà lọ láti gba ògo n nì wá lọ́wọ́ obìnrin náà. Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò bá obìnrin náà níbẹ̀.
21 And he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim, by the way-side? And they said, There was no prostitute here.
Ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn àdúgbò náà pé, “Níbo ni alágbèrè ojúbọ òrìṣà tí ó wà ní etí ọ̀nà Enaimu wà?” Wọ́n sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Kò sí alágbèrè ojúbọ òrìṣà kankan níbí.”
22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, No prostitute has been here.
Ó sì padà lọ sọ́dọ̀ Juda ó wí fún un pé, “Èmí kò rí i, à ti pé àwọn aládùúgbò ibẹ̀ sọ pé kò sí alágbèrè ojúbọ òrìṣà kankan níbẹ̀.”
23 Then Judah said, Let her take [it] for herself, lest we be put to shame. Behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
Nígbà náà ni Juda wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí ó máa kó àwọn ohun tí ó wà lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ lọ bí kò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ a ó di ẹlẹ́yà. Mo sá à fi ọmọ ewúrẹ́ ránṣẹ́ sí i, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò rí òun.”
24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law has committed fornication, and behold, she is also with child by fornication. And Judah said, Bring her forth, that she may be burned.
Lẹ́yìn nǹkan bí oṣù mẹ́ta, wọn sọ fún Juda pé, “Tamari aya ọmọ rẹ̀ ṣe àgbèrè, ó sì ti lóyún.” Juda sì wí pé, “Ẹ mú un jáde, kí ẹ sì dá iná sun ún.”
25 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man to whom these [belong] am I with child; and she said, Acknowledge, I pray thee, whose are this signet, and this lace, and this staff.
Bí wọ́n sì ti ń mú un jáde, ó ránṣẹ́ sí baba ọkọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ọkùnrin tí ó ni àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni ó fún mi lóyún. Wò ó, bóyá o lè mọ ẹni tí ó ni èdìdì ìdámọ̀, okùn àti ọ̀pá ìtìlẹ̀ wọ̀nyí.”
26 And Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She is more righteous than I, because I have not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
Juda sì dá wọn mọ̀, ó sì wí pé, “O ṣe olódodo jù mí lọ, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí n kò fi fún Ṣela ọmọ mi.” Kò sì bá a lòpọ̀ mọ́ láti ọjọ́ náà.
27 And it came to pass at the time of her delivery, that behold, twins were in her womb.
Nígbà tí àsìkò ìbímọ rẹ̀ tó. Ìbejì ọkùnrin ni ó bí.
28 And it came to pass when she brought forth, that one stretched out [his] hand, and the midwife took it and bound round his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
Bí ó sì ti ń bímọ, ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ náà na ọwọ́ jáde; agbẹ̀bí sì so okùn òdòdó mọ́ ọmọ náà ní ọrùn ọwọ́. Ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni o kọ́kọ́ jáde.”
29 And it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out; and she said, How hast thou broken forth! on thee be the breach! And they called his name Pherez.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó fa ọwọ́ rẹ̀ padà, èkejì rẹ̀ jáde. Tamari sì wí pé, “Níbo ni ìwọ ti wá?” Ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Peresi.
30 And afterwards came out his brother, round whose hand was the scarlet thread; and they called his name Zerah.
Nígbà náà ni èkejì tí a ti so okùn olódòdó mọ́ lọ́rùn ọwọ́ jáde, wọ́n sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ni Sera.
